> Does anyone have experience with installing a new control arm on a 92
stealth DOHC (front driver side). How hard is it, and are there detailed
directions? I am only 18 and not exactly a mechanic, do you think I could
to it? Also are there any pictures of the install process that anyone has
taken?

Well..., asking a question on a summer Friday won't exactly maximize the
number of replies you get... ;-) But...

In the meantime, go to our Search page and enter "control arm" (use the
quote marks). It will pull up almost 30 pages from our Archives. You can
start reading through them to see if there is any info to help you, or a if
there's a reference to a website with greater detail. Ideally, you should
have the repair manual if you intend to do any work on your own - there are
step-by-step instructions and diagrams to guide you. Where to get the
manuals is explained in the "Basics" section of the FAQ pages. You can also
get Vineet's "Manual on CD" - that address is there too.

Good luck!

Subject: Team3S: Signs of turbo failing...

What are some signs of a turbo dying... I was driving this weekend and
when i shifted to second and stepped on the gas the car started
stuttering and eventually shut off while i was driving... It happened
about 4 times that day until i finally parked. Also i haven't driven the
car for three weeks prior to that and as soon as i got a car wash this
problem started happening. Once the idle starts dropping to zero even if
i floor the gas pedal there is no RPM responce it just falls to zero and
the car shuts off.... Does anyone know what can cause this... Thanks

I had a similar thing happen. Check to see if it blows black smoke when you
start it (you may have to floor it to keep it running). If so, you've got
an airflow problem. Check all your intercooler piping, air intake piping,
etc. Best of luck

Subject: Team3S: Wheel Spacer Clearance

All,

I'm trying to determine if a new set of 18 x 8.5 x 42mm offset wheels is
going to clear the top of my fender. As it sits right now, the outside
edges of the wheel is nearly flush with outside of the top of the fender.
Does anyone know if our tires actually extend up underneath the wheel well
under full compression. It seems like a silly question, but I would think
that anyone running 1/2" spacers on the front hubs would run into fender
clearance problems if this were the case. Any help would be much
appreciated.

Regards,
DaveT/92TT

Subject: Team3S: 1992 Stealth Long Block

There have been two posts as of late regarding availability and costs of

new or replacement motors for Stealth's. I believe the first was a dead
91 and
yesterday a soon to be retired 93.
I have a 92 Stealth 3.0L DOHC Twin Turbo Long Block with 52,000 miles.
The
engine requires only new main bearings to be 100% road ready. Crankshaft

was machined prior to my decision to go with newly remanufactured Long
Block
from Recon Engines in Philadelphia. If anyone has an interest let me
know.
You are welcome to call and visit with my local Dodge Garage/Mechanic
about condition of original 52k mi. engine. New Long Block with 3yr 36k
mile
warranty ran me $3400.00 + freight.

Would ask $900.00 for Long Block, and you pay shipping (COD). When you
consider what a new crank alone costs the $900.00 is a bargain.

Email me for my home phone # and Dodge Garage/mechanics phone and name
if interested.
Thanks.

Subject: Team3S: California NASA Racing Event Photos Discount

Courtesy of Head-On Photos and SpeedToys.Com!
As part of Speedtoys.Com's efforts to make the grassroots/hobbiest racing
events more affordable, we now offer bulk discounts on photos purchased
from Head-On Photos. Head-On Photos photographs almost every NASA event in
Northern and Southern California. They get to photograph from spots you
and I only dream of! Shortly after each event the photos from the events
are posted at: Head-On Photos website. The photos are sorted by Day and
Run Group to make it easier to find a great picture of your car.
Here's the deal:
If we get 10 photo orders for an event, everyone gets a discount. 20
orders is a bigger discount! Photos must be ordered within one month of
the racing event. Orders placed after that time will need to be purchased
from Head-On Photos directly at full price.
Discounted prices are available for 8x10 prints only.
10 orders = $25 + tax each, 20 or more orders = $20 + tax each. Paypal
fees are also added to cover the transaction cost (2.2%, about the same as
accepting a credit card itself..which we dont)
Since we don't get the discount unless there 10 or more orders, we will
not process any transactions until the end of the one month window. At the
end of the window all people that sent in 'orders' will be notified of
their cost, then we'll collect the $$.
Please check out http://www.speedtoys.com/photodisc.html for more details,
and about our introductory special.
